2. I think I have said
fuck you in the middle of a nasty flame war...but somehow got away with it. Not too proud.

The only time I've been warned by the mods was when I called someone a Freeper...who later was tombstoned.

11. I think there is an exception - no namecalling, except you are allowed
to call Robb a Dingbat.

... out of respect to Dostoevsky's Prince Myshkin.

5. I think they are all a waste of breath. This is a place for an exchange
of opinions. If I want that kind of response, I'll go to the AOL message boards. ;) Unless, of course, it's in response to a disruptor. :hi:

6. Oh I agree.

I think the rules are totally appropriate. Nevertheless, there are liars, idiots, and freepers who post here, and sometimes it takes some effort to 'bite my tongue'.

7. Me too Fean.
So then I make them dissappear. ;) Except, I've never done that yet, because I am too curious to see what everyone is saying. :hi:

10. You can say that. Can't you? What rule would that break?
You just can't tell someone that they are mentally ill because they believe in a Deity.

13. Strictly Speaking, The Term "Psychotic" Would Not Be Incorrect...
that is to say that they suffer from a form of psychosis in that they are are disconnected from reality, or that they "see" or believe-in things that aren't really there.

Unfortunately, the word psychotic is a bit too harsh sounding to describe just one of the many subtle degrees of intensity that one can be disconnected from reality.

15. But what if said deity is real?
Then who becomes the menatlly ill individual?

Plenty of things are being found that could not be seen before, perhaps a deity is just one of those that have yet to be 'seen'.

Just a thought...:)

16. Well then the atheists are the psychotic ones... except
if the deity were shown to be real, I doubt there would be as many atheists.
